When it comes to supplements, hardgainers have a tendency to over-rely on them. I've done this before, and I am pretty sure that a lot of people have.
If you want to be successful, supplements are NOT vital to your success, but if you do want to speed up the mass-gaining process, they definitely do help. By the way, this is part 3 of my Hardgainer Weight Gain Guide!

Other Supplements
- I never recommend taking anything illegal to make gains. Stick to the above items, and continue to look for reviews and do your research about other supplements.
- Going to the gym and asking your local buff guys what they take can definitely help. However, do NOT make the below mistake!
Don't Make this Mistake!
- More often then not, hardgainers will go into "supplement overdrive," where they forget what's truly important.
- Never let supplements replace your true fuel - food! More than any supplement on the planet, food is most important. You must eat 500 calories more than your body
- To make gains your body must consume 500 more calories than it burns on a daily basis!
- Check the hardgainer calorie calculator to learn more about calories, and how many you should be consuming consistently, on a daily basis.

Do you think that supplements can really increase longevity? I've been taking Probiotic Supplements for a while now and it's helped my digestive health. Not sure if it will help me to live longer, however.
